S2 Ep8: Pelvic Floor 101 – Why You Need to Care Now, Not Later

Pelvic floor health isn’t just a postpartum thing — and it’s definitely not something to worry about after something goes wrong.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what your pelvic floor actually is, how it supports everything from continence to core strength to sexual wellbeing, and why pregnancy is the perfect time to start paying attention.

We’ll talk about common symptoms, contributing factors, and real-life strategies to support this part of your body without shame, overwhelm, or eye-rolls. Because it’s not about being perfect — it’s about being informed.

Disclaimer:

While I’m a registered midwife working in the Australian public health system, this podcast is an independent project and reflects my personal views and professional experience — not those of my employer or any health service. The content is designed to offer supportive, evidence-based information and storytelling, but it’s not a substitute for personalised medical advice. Please speak with your own care team when making decisions about your health and care.

I believe in respectful, collaborative maternity care that empowers people with accurate information — without fear or blame. I recognise that birth can be complex, and while some experiences are distressing, I do not support rhetoric that assumes malice or systemic abuse by default. My goal is to offer a space for real talk, not scare tactics — and to bridge the gap between evidence and empathy.
